You know how the biggest annoyance with UFO videos is that they are blurry and shaky and look sort of like somebody threw a bunch of LEDs into the sky and filmed them? Well, you certainly can't make that complaint about this video, which captures a truly bizarre UFO floating down from the sky, getting caught on a fence, and then being touched by a friend of the person filming.

There is a whole internet lore around so-called Cloud UFOs, which are basically clouds that UFOs supposedly hide behind or inside. Could this be a chunk of one such cloud, drifting to earth? Or is it something even more creepy, like a blob of industrial waste foam? Either way, WHY IS THIS GUY TOUCHING IT?
